Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am new to the list (and to FreeBSD) so please let me know if I am breaking any rules here... I am trying to install from FTP, and it takes me through the whole process without any error messages, but when it is done and I reboot I get "Read error". I think this is happening before the machine even reads the boot sector. First I thought this was a hardware problem, but when I installed DOS on the same machine it booted fine. Also, if I boot from a floppy but give it boot: "0:wd(0,a)kernel" it works fine. I just need it to be able to find the kernel on its own and sans the floppy boot. Any suggestions? Thanks, Roman. P.S. I am not sure if this went through the first time I posted it, so if this is a repost, please excuse.
